Summary
Robert Greene’s Mastery completely shatters the myth that iconic people were destined for success by birth or some wild genius feat. Many of the great masters had an unremarkable upbringing. Some, like Marcel Proust, turned their waste of time itself into mastery. The primary difference between masters and ordinary people is that the masters never gave up on their craft and took as long as it was necessary to perfect it. Mozart may have been a child prodigy, but it took him almost a decade to write a composition of value. After 10 years of pondering, Einstein’s theory of relativity came to him in a flash minutes after he completely disregarded any solution. This is such a great opportunity to have a closer look at what made the likes of Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci and others into forces of nature that they were in their time and beyond.
Robert Greene’s Mastery teaches you how to overcome one of the biggest obstacles we face. The obstacle that holds us back the most. The obstacle of ourselves. It could be in the form of fear of failure, or in the form of disability, or the lack of knowledge we seek but the obstacle in the end is ourselves. Even so saying, one of the greatest things about being human is the ability to continue to evolve, to learn all throughout our lives. This book sets out the 6 keys or steps to overcoming and obtain that power we are desperate to achieve. Helps us reach the goal that we all are striving for, that power over ourselves to become extraordinary. Power to be the masters of our own lives. This book is a great addition to anyone’s library. With its anecdotes, it provides a peak into the lives of people that used the Mastery method, this book is an enjoyable read. For anyone out there searching to become something more, something exemplary, this is the book for them.
